Very early in his time in Thanalan's mercenary armies (pre-Flames), as a very green recruit his fellow recruits played a prank on him. Erik, who was until this time had only lived in the north (Ala Mhigo/Gridania), had gone to bed in his tent, only to wake up the next morning, his tent full of calm Cactaur. Calm until he screamed like a little girl and spooked the mobs. He was in the medical tent for hours removing the needles. Not his proudest moment, to this day he is scared of needles and phobic of cactaurs.
Some of the funniest rpes I've had with him is in the GS where he is very fearful/suspicious of the tux wearing cactaurs walking about.
